Red Yeast Rice

- There are a number of natural supplements that have been used for people with moderately high cholesterol. Among these, one of the most effective is Red Yeast Rice. Nutritionists suggest that red yeast rice and red yeast rice supplements support healthy cholesterol levels in the body. Red yeast rice is a complex product that contains several active ingredients including monacolins. Monacolins act as HMG-CoA inhibitors. HMG-CoA reductase is an enzyme that helps make cholesterol. By blocking its cholesterol producing action, the natural compounds in red yeast rice can help you maintain cholesterol levels that are within the normal range. The amount of cholesterol you consume in food is not the most important factor for regulating normal cholesterol levels. The liver manufactures approximately 80% of total body cholesterol while the other 20% comes from dietary sources. Our bodies require cholesterol but we can also get too much of it. Cholesterol is only harmful to us if it becomes oxidized. Oxidized cholesterol can cause damage to tissues and accumulate in blood vessels. Balancing the cholesterol produced by your liver is critical to your total cholesterol and your cardiovascular health.
